An old building needs more love
Pros
The street noise is minimal especially if your apartment is north facing. Neighbors are nice and polite. Dog friendly.

Super is awful with the garbage maintenance. Pests have strewn garbage all over the ground, I've seen rats, cockroaches, and especially in the summer, there are tons of huge flies all around the stairs.
Advice to the owners
Get a new, more competent super
